Description
The Eibl's Angelfish is a striking dwarf angelfish known for its pale body adorned with numerous orange vertical stripes, a bright yellow belly, and a black caudal fin outlined in electric blue. This active and hardy species makes a beautiful addition to a mature reef or fish-only saltwater aquarium, though it can be territorial towards similar-sized or shaped fish.
